Un studiu recent publicat pe platforma ArXiV , a universității americane Cornell, de către un grup de biochimiști de la Universitatea din Barcelona susține că locurile cele mai promițătoare pentru a descoperi forme de viață…
The main concept of the article is that life on Mars could exist not on the surface, but deep underground. The article highlights: * The fluctuation of methane levels detected by the Curiosity rover, suggesting a possible biological source. * The harsh surface conditions of Mars making it unsuitable for most terrestrial life. * Metanogens, organisms that thrive in extreme environments and use methane, as a potential candidate for Martian life. The article proposes that subsurface environments on Mars, potentially rich in hydrogen and shielded from radiation, could provide a haven for metanogens and other forms of microbial life.
